APPLICATIONS
Prodigy low Profile Hoists provide a simple, low cost way to lift heavy
lights for storage or for production. Prodigy P1500e is especially
useful for the front of house where an extremely low profile allows
the hoist and cable management system to disappear into the
plenum in the smallest space requirement in the industry. larger
high schools and other facilities with wider proscenium openings can
be equipped with front-of house-lighting or onstage lighting pipes
without the added cost of catwalks.
these hoists resolve space and access challenges for schools, night
clubs, houses of worship or other places where there is no means to
access lighting above the stage or audience. With motorized hoists, it
will not be necessary to climb ladders or scaffolds to install or service
lighting. Instead, the motorized battens can be lowered to working
level and allow workers to easily install and service equipment that
can be raised to performance or storage positions high above the
stage floor.
etC Prodigy hoists are manufactured in a family of sizes from house
light hoists up to machines designed to carry heavy loads.
FEATURES
• lIGHt WeIGHt: Powerhead weighs less than 580 pounds
• Small SIZe: Powerhead is only 17 3/8” high x 50 11/16”
long x 17 13/16” wide
• ComPaCt CaBle manaGement SYStem: front of house
and stage electrics hoists store in 30” of height yet feed up to
48 20 amp circuits
• trUe lIftInG CaPaCItY: Hoists are rated by their working
load limit in standard configuration, the amount of weight
that can be suspended from the batten
• UnIQUe ProDIGY HYBrID DrUm: Powerhead manages up to
7 liftlines plus one operating line for cable management in a
machine 1/3 the size of other hoists
• faIl-Safe motor BraKe anD ProDIGY loaD BraKe: two
independent braking systems assure safe overhead lifting
• HIGHer DUtY CYCleS: minimal braking pressure significantly
reduces brake pad temperature and increases duty cycle of
the hoist
• BUIlt-In lImIt SWItCHeS anD enCoDerS: With visual
setting indicators for more efficient installation
• DmX or ethernet data wiring available

General InformatIon
• mID-traVel PreSet PoSItIon: a third stop position that is
re-settable by the user
• ComPreSSIon tUBe: Channel snaps in place to interface
with facility structure and neutralize additional horizontal
loads on the building
• BUIlt In SlaCK lIne DeteCtor: Standard on all hoists
• BUIlt In loaD ProfIlInG: Standard on all hoists
• rIGHt anGle CaBle aDJUSter (raCa): Unique trim clamp
saves up to 14” of building height and allows greater batten
travel. the raCa permits rapid trim adjustment even under
load
• BUIlt to PlaSa/anSI StanDarDS: motorized hoist (draft)
standards

BENEFITS OF PRODIGY HOISTS
• light weight – less load on the building and easier to install
• no additional lateral forces imposed on the building – lateral
forces neutralized in the compression tube
• anywhere-positioning of loft blocks along compression tube
so lift line placement is not dependent on building structural
layout
• may be attached to almost any structure that can support the
weight of the hoist + lifted load such as bar joists
• Programmable Quicktouch ® Control Panel with lCD readout
of hoist “name,” hoist function, loading profile, operational
status, preset position and current load
• easy limit switch adjustment with visible leD light indicators
• low noise operation
• Prewired connector strip for up to 48 20 amp circuits with
up to 4 DmX and a Cat5 outlet
• Connector strip also works as a cable tray and roller guide
system to manage flat feeder cable
